Bitcoin UTXO Stress Score Climbs to 71.5, Keeping Market in High-Pressure Territory

According to Huo Xing Cai Jing, CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr. said Bitcoin's Unrealized Profit/Loss Stress Score has climbed to 71.5, moving back above the 70 mark. The reading suggests most circulating supply is currently underwater, leaving the market stuck in a high-pressure zone. Adler noted that one year ago, when Bitcoin traded around $114,000, the indicator sat near a neutral 41. Over the past 12 months, the metric has spent close to two-thirds of the time in high or extreme pressure ranges, peaking at 100 during the market selloff in November 2025. The weekly momentum is now +3, indicating pressure has started to edge higher after about a month of easing. Over the past month, the score has largely oscillated between 65 and 76, showing neither a sharp deterioration nor a meaningful recovery. Adler said a sustained drop below 70 paired with negative momentum would signal continued pressure relief. If Bitcoin falls below the monthly low near $61,500, the index could accelerate toward 90+, echoing the extreme conditions seen last November.
